Cusp forms on GSp(4) with SO(4)-periods

The SaitoKurokawa lifting of automorphic representations from PGL(2) to the projective symplectic group of similitudes PGSp(4) of genus 2 is studied using the Fourier summation formula (an instance of the "relative trace formula"), thus characterizing the image as the representations with a nonzero period for the special orthogonal group SO(4, E/F) associated to a quadratic extension E of the global base field F, and a nonzero Fourier coefficient for a generic character of the unipotent radical of the Siegel parabolic subgroup. The image is nongeneric and almost everywhere nontempered, violating a naive generalization of the Ramanujan conjecture. Technical advances here concern the development of the summation formula and matching of relative orbital integrals.
